Overview
This casino resort opened in doors
nearly 30 years ago in 1978. It was
Atlantic City’s very first casino
resort property. For a long time,
this was the place to play for the
older gambling set. Then last year,
the property was sold to a new owner
and began to attract the younger
set. After many years of being known
as the older player establishment,
this new move was a bit of a
surprise to many Atlantic City
regulars in the know. Last year, the
property continued on its quest to
cater to the younger crowds by
creating an outdoor bar and beach
complex that is run by the famed
Nikki Beach Club franchise, but it
will not be returning this year due
to changes in law regarding
drinking, beaches and more. This was
considered to be the premiere spot
as far as beach clubs are concerned
in Atlantic City. The concept was
great. Liability was not.
The property also built a new comedy
club, Catch a Rising Star that
showcases an amazing variety of
talent. The new hotel tower,
Rendezvous Tower has 27 stories of
rooms that include all the luxury
amenities a younger crowd wants.
The addition of the American Burger
Company has become one of the best
ideas the resort has accomplished by
offering the best burgers in
Atlantic City. This is a popular
place. The vibe here is retro
old-school meets roadside. Your
burger is cooked to order (good
meat) with the company’s signature
crispy lettuce – no wilting here.
The special sauce is delicious.
Be sure to also check out this
property’s other new dining
experiences too. Seek out
Gallagher’s for prime cuts of meat.
This is the same company that owns
the Gallagher’s in NYC. Jose Garces,
a well known chef, has created the
menu for Atlantic’ City’s first
Mexican restaurant. Look for it to
open in August – no name as of yet.
It will take place of the Camelot
restaurant.
The Casino
Slots players will be happy to find
2,800 machines in the Resorts casino
area. The Platinum Place area is
designated for high limit slots. You
will find 85 table games at the
Resorts casino. Two high limit table
game areas are located in this
casino. One is for blackjack and the
other for traditional baccarat
playing. For the online poker
players out there that will be in
Atlantic City this summer, there are
only 6 poker tables at the Resorts
casino as of yet, but they are
always in play and are located in a
room on the casino floor where you
can bet on sporting events at the
same time.
Restaurants
We already mention a few of them in
the Overview section of this
article. Aside form them, there is a
great noodle house named the Asian
Spice Noodle Bar. Capriccio has
great Italian food. The buffet has
updated itself with many new
offerings and comes with a budget
conscious price tag of only $8.99
for Resort Uptown Club (see promos
below) members. Head to Breaksticks
for a great wood-burning stove made
pizza.
Entertainment
The Super star Theater houses many
great headlining shows. As we
already mentioned in the Overview
section of this online poker
article, the new comedy venue Catch
a Rising Star is a great place to
catch come great comedy.
Night Life
As we already stated the Nikki Beach
situation ha sput an end to the
outdoor hot spot, but this resort
has alternatives in line. The Luna
Lounge and the 25 Hours spots are
very cool. 25 Hours boasts fishnet
stocking wearing waitresses and the
funky vibe you get from the cozy
seating and interestingly lit tables
is very cool indeed.
Promos
Look for Resort’s multi leveled
loyalty program this kicks off this
summer. Is is called Destination
Casino Club and offers several
levels of player rewards depending
on how and how much you play in the
casino.
The previously mentioned Uptown Club

booking, try visiting the friendly
staff at the VIP booth in the
casino. This is a great resource for
obtaining the latest and greatest
